Oh right. I like LAKE MUNGO as a regular movie, or a movie about photography, which is to say a movie about directed vision. But as a horror movie I am underwhelmed.

Adding:
MARTYRS (2008)
GOOD BOY (2022)

and I'm about to rewatch LAKE MUNGO (2008) because everyone loves it so much but I don't remember thinking it was all that special? Coulda been a mood, lessee

Why was 18-year-old Sarah Zuber found dead 400 feet from her front door? And how is it possible, six years later, that no one knows what happened to her?

Hush, Season 2, "Love Thy Neighbor" — my investigation with @ryanjhaas.bsky.social — starts today.

accurate transcription of my thought process:

- Huh, why did I name all these people after characters in Jurassic Park?

- Uh, why did I name all the dinosaurs after lewd sex acts??

- Why does every sentence that starts with scientific methodology end with penises?!?

Wow I totally forgot that I had a very short-lived career as a dinosaur pornographer. Imagine my surprise when I opened that document!

Report from the horror fields: I really liked THE MONKEY (2025)! Over the top jokes, a ton of incredible actors, bananas effects. I could have done without the pseudopoetics and schlocky male bonding beeswax, but Stephen King is gonna Stephen King I guess.

Of course when I requested his military records no one could find them, so like maybe it was just lies all the way down and he never enlisted, never got arrested, never got divorced or maybe even married in the first place, who knows

Anne Elizabeth Moore @anneelizabethmoore.bsky.social · 6d

Like I swear I do not want to mine this for book content but HOLY SHIT there's got to be so much dirt on my dad buried in court records I have always wondered about, apparently in a vague way that did not allow me to remember that I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS

How have I worked in journalism for so long and never once considered requesting my parents' divorce records

I wonder what it would be like if I just refused to move on from Jane Goodall's death, like if I just sat in my sorrow until forever and nothing else got done except nature

I mean, for all my friends in the critical trenches, if you want to start running hot sauce reviews on Instagram, there's a lot of places to go with the form. They don't all have to be about burning the interior of your mouth!

Anne Elizabeth Moore @anneelizabethmoore.bsky.social · 7d

Got my first official hot sauce review and it comes with a long preamble about how the Red Sox suck. I'm so happy
